You will need to marinade these for at least 5 hours or better still overnight, so you can do this a day ahead.

These delicious skewers of chicken are a joy to eat, sweet, sticky with a honey and hoisin glaze and so easy to make. Fantastic on the BBQ or under a searingly hot grill.

I like to serve these with sticky rice. They make a deliciously different appetiser or an accompaniment to a BBQ. Kids love them, adults will devour them in a flash.

I have added images in the slider above to help with the steps.
